Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife
Chapter 574 Carnage
"Intruders?" Ran Xueyi frowned.
"The island has sensor signals that allow my men to know when an intruder is entering without permission." Evgenia walked past the door, followed closely by Ran Xueyi and Alina.
"What if it's just a wild animal?" Alina asked.
Evgenia shook his head. "Then my men wouldn't need to alert me like this."
Ran Xueyi thought the same. She wouldn't let a wild animal pass if she installed an alarm sensor in her territory. Animals may not have evil intentions like humans, but they're still just as deadly. If Evgenia's men thought there were intruders on the island that were more threatening than wild animals, they would do everything they could to report their findings. It's better to be cautious than to die an early death because of arrogance.
With darkness filling their surroundings, rendering their sights useless, Ran Xueyi and the others have to rely on their other senses. That is if no one gets to them before they can get out of the basement.
Hearts in their throats, Ran Xueyi stood with her back against the wall. She could hear the ruffling sounds of fabrics rubbing against skin and the bated breaths of her companions. It should've made her feel relieved, but in this dire situation, she couldn't allow herself to trust her life in somebody's hands.
"Alina, come here."
Ran Xueyi's voice bounced against the walls, echoing loudly in this deafening silence. She felt herself bumping against someone. But with the darkness still blocking her vision, she wasn't certain whose body it belonged to.
"It's okay, Xueyi. It's a little cramped with everyone, so I'll stay where I am," Alina's answer came from a near distance. Ran Xueyi deduced they were a couple of steps away from each other.
She would've crossed to that side, but a hand wrapped around her wrist kept her from moving towards her friends.
She wanted to struggle so the hand could let her go, but she heard Evgenia's baritone voice from beside her.
"We still don't know what's going on, so don't let your guard down. Keep close and do not risk your lives by acting hastily," Evgenia instructed in the dark.
Ran Xueyi stopped moving, but her face turned in the direction where she assumed Alina would be.
"I need to go to Alina," she whispered.
"Stay still." His hand around her wrist tightened. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Run!" Evgenia shouted his order in a grave tone. "Alina!"
Ran Xueyi scrambled to her feet as fast as she could. She followed Evgenia closely behind her and was relieved to see Alina running just two feet behind her. A gun was in her friend's hand.
"Run, Xueyi! Don't look back!" Alina worried and glanced in her direction while keeping the corners of her eyes focused on any foreign movements.
Ran Xueyi nodded and ran quicker.
The mansion was enormous, and the area where one could walk was spacious. It should take a minute to reach the other end if they walk at a normal pace. But at this time, Ran Xueyi felt like they had been running for eternity. Her back was soaked in sweat, and her heart drummed against her ears.
She swept her eyes around. Evgenia stood on her right, while Alina was on her left. A few other men were also standing against the wall, much closer to the opening where the unknown enemy was shooting their bullets their way. Shouts and grunts went past her ears as many filled their bodies with bullets.
It was a scene of carnage.
Alina and Evgenia weren't new to this type of situation. They lived their whole lives wiping the guns they held in their hands even in sleep, the screams and blood of their enemies a blanket covering them.
But for an ordinary person like Ran Xueyi, who had never been in the midst of a sea of bullets, it was terrifying.
Yet why does she feel that this is not her first time?
A nagging thought told her that this was a scene that had been repeated in the past. A scene where all the horrors she wanted to escape from were born.
"Xueyi..."
"Xueyi!"
Ran Xueyi snapped and looked beside her. Alina had gone white, as if all her blood had been drained from her body.
Turning to face forward, she saw herself in the glass window.
She saw her reflection staring back at her with a dazed look, completely unaware of the red dot that now appeared on the spot between her eyebrows.

As they came out of the basement, one of the three got shot in the legs, forcing him to drop down and clutch his wounded leg. The other two returned fire, guns stretched outward and continuously spitting bullets."Run!" Evgenia shouted his order in a grave tone. "Alina!"
Ran Xueyi scrambled to her feet as fast as she could. She followed Evgenia closely behind her and was relieved to see Alina running just two feet behind her. A gun was in her friend's hand.
